Well, um, I didn't open-source it. DCForum doesn't have anything to do with me or EPU or anything.

All I'm saying is, Zoner's the local DCF hacker, and if somebody else codes a function, he'd have to be the one to integrate it with our install, and if somebody else had coded it, chances are he would refuse to do so in favor of coding it himself, which he might or might not actually get around to doing.

In this case, I can be fairly confident in saying that he won't implement anything new on these boards as they now stand, since DCF 6.0 is out of date. He'd have to upgrade to whatever's current, then start hacking that.

And, given his overall motivation level lately, I wouldn't hold my breath.

I'd like to see the "reply in new thread" function too, but I've learned long since the negative value of hounding Zoner about things. It gets them not, and possibly never, done.
